the sniper rifles can only really fire ball. They
can't fire the SLAP rounds. Were they testing the
API or AP rounds? Ap is going to have a lower
sectional density and WILL yaw when it strikes
the water BUT it's not going to break up very
well.

Yep. The MG and SLR fire didn't do well for the
40mm crew or other crew trying to respond to
damage control efforts. Ain't much armor on a
Destroyer.
